He was a top stand up guy!The real legacy of Christopher Columbus: slavery and genocide – Liberation School
Opening the continent to slavery
Columbus was the first European slave trader in the Americas. He sent more slaves across the Atlantic Ocean than any individual of his time-about 5,000.He and his men captured and enslaved the Arawak people almost as soon as they landed. Some were sent to Spain and others served Columbus on the islands. In 1496, Columbus jubilantly wrote Spain’s King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella about the possibilities for exploitation in the West Indies: “In the name of the Holy Trinity, we can send from here all the slaves and brazil wood which could be sold.”
In Hispaniola, Columbus and the Spanish set up a system that made every Indian over the age of 14 responsible for gathering a certain amount of gold each month. They received copper tokens to hang around their necks if they succeeded. If an Indian was caught without a token, the Spanish cut off their hands and let them bleed to death.
Such murder and torture occurred frequently because the Spanish wildly overestimated how much gold existed on the island. Gathering enough gold to satisfy the Spanish conquerors was an impossible task.
When it became clear there was no more gold to take, the Spanish started a form of plantation slavery, known as the ecomienda system. This system thrived by working Indian slaves to death on large, privately owned estates. Indian slave labor was later used in gold and silver mines.
Sexual slavery was also widespread among the Spanish settlers. In 1500, Columbus wrote: “A hundred castellanoes are as easily obtained for a woman as for a farm, and it is very general and there are plenty of dealers who go about looking for girls; those from nine to ten are now in demand.”
Bartolomé de Las Casas, a Spanish priest sympathetic to the plight of Indians, described the terrible violence against them: “[the Spanish] rode the backs of the Indians as if they were in a hurry,” and they “thought nothing of knifing Indians by tens and twenties and of cutting slices off them to test the sharpness of their blades.”
When the Arawaks tried to escape enslavement, they were hunted and killed. The Spanish sent hunting dogs to rip them apart. When the Arawaks tried to organize armed uprisings, they were crushed by the settlers’ advanced weaponry. Arawaks taken prisoner in battle were hanged or burned alive. Many turned to suicide out of misery and desperation.
The diseases brought by the colonizers rapidly felled the Indians. Through out the Americas, millions died from smallpox, influenza, viral hepatitis and other illnesses. European rodents and livestock wreaked havoc on the ecosystem of the Americas,

You do know the dumb savages that lived in America hadn't even invented the wheel yet, and we're literally doing human sacrifices, including children.... Right?

Total left wing lie, Columbus didn't introduce slavery to the Americas, they were already practicing slavery here.

And what exactly does that have to do with the fact that Columbus never stepped foot on the Continent?

Nothing else required.
Did you say this?
Will you continue to wipeall over your handsome mug. That is the better question.
A simple google search would have cleared this up easily for you,as the point i made still stands solid as the Rock of Gibraltar
Slavery among Native Americans in the United States - Wikipedia
"Slavery among Native Americans in the United States includes slavery by and slavery of Native Americans roughly within what is currently the United States of America.
Tribal territories and the slave trade ranged over present-day borders. Some Native American tribes held war captives as slaves prior to and during European colonization. Some Native Americans were captured and sold by others into slavery to Europeans, while others were captured and sold by Europeans themselves. In the late 18th and 19th centuries, a small number of tribes, such as the five so-called "civilized tribes", began increasing their holding of African-American slaves.[1]
European contact greatly influenced slavery as it existed among pre-contact Native Americans, particularly in scale.[2][3] As they raided other tribes to capture slaves for sales to Europeans, they fell into destructive wars among themselves, and against Europeans.[2][3][4]"
Slavery among the indigenous peoples of the Americas - Wikipedia
"In Mesoamerica, the most common forms of slavery were those of prisoners of war and debtors. People unable to pay back debts could be sentenced to work as slaves to the persons owed until the debts were worked off. The Mayan[7][8] and Aztec[9] civilizations both practiced slavery. Warfare was important to Maya society, because raids on surrounding areas provided the victims required for human sacrifice, as well as slaves for the construction of temples.[10] Most victims of human sacrifice were prisoners of war or slaves.[11] Slavery was not usually hereditary; children of slaves were born free.[citation needed]
In the Inca Empire, workers were subject to a Mit'a in lieu of taxes which they paid by working for the government, a form of corvée labor.[12] Each ayllu, or extended family, would decide which family member to send to do the work. It is debated whether this system of forced labor counts as slavery.[citation needed]
Many of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast, such as the Haida and Tlingit, were traditionally known as fierce warriors and slave-traders, raiding as far as California.[13][14][15] Slavery was hereditary, the slaves being prisoners of war. Their targets often included members of the Coast Salish groups. Among some tribes about a quarter of the population were slaves.[16][17] One slave narrative was composed by an Englishman, John R. Jewitt, who had been taken alive when his ship was captured in 1802; his memoir provides a detailed look at life as a slave, and asserts that a large number were held.[citation needed]"
Other slave-owning societies and tribes of the New World included the Tehuelche of Patagonia, the Kalinago of Dominica, the Tupinambá of Brazil, and the Pawnee of the Great Plains.[18][19][20]

Just correcting the record. Strange that someone could be ignorant enough to believe that Columbus was the one who opened up the continent to slavery.

If a simple google search would have proven your point, why not just give the link that night? I would have be quieted. Fact is, you made a claim, easiest way out was to say you misspoke and meant Special Master Dearie.
You never offered that until today
Yeah between your misrepresentation, hypocrisy, and lying, you aren't believable.

again,if you want to crow and beat your chest as if you have scored a point, becuase I said 11th cricuit rather than Judge Dearie well then Bully for you. It doesnt change the fact that Trump was told to put up or shut up. This tells me I'm really hammering my points home for you to declare such a small error i made a huge victory for your side
By the Way,you never spelled out what you meant when you called Herschel Walker's son a 'Ferret"
explain it to us like we are 5

The right in general has a very odd view of God, Jesus, and Trump. One might say they’re almost cultish in their views.
